Help with e-juice

[froggernaut]

I ordered e-juice from Mt. Baker Vapor in 65pg/35vg 6nic. Not knowing extra shots increases the pg I added 2 extra shots to the 30ml bottles. I'm using a nautilus mini tank if that matters.

The juice is so harsh. It burns my throat, makes my head hurt and just overall an unpleasant experience. I'm very new to vaping so I'm thinking its way to much PG.

Is there anything I can do to make it useable or do I just order new juice and find someone who likes high PG and give it away?

you could try adding vg to it - will mute/ dilute the flavor some and drop your nic level as well, though - another option might be to try to get an unflavored higher vg percentage nic base ( i know mt baker sells unflavored nic base https://www.mtbakervapor.com/diy-supplies/unflavored-e-juice/ )

what nic strength are you vaping now?

Thanks. I have a local shop close by I'll see if the have it. Shipping from Mt. Baker took about a week and I'd need it sooner than that.

I am using 6mg of nic.

gotcha - see if you can get a high vg (80% or 90% maybe) unflavored juice in 6mg, and try mixing them half and half - should smooth it out a bit
hope that helps!

Thanks! I hope it does. I'll update on how it turns out tomorrow if they have an unflavored high VG.

cool beans - and good luck - if they mix their own juice flavors, they should be able to help you out

Which eliquid did you order from Mt. Baker Vapor? Were you able to steep your order at all before trying it? MBV mixes their eliquids when you order them, and some are good to us straight out of the mailbox, while others need varying amounts of steep time for the flavors to really "come into their own" for us.

For me, creams/custards/some bakery flavors need a minimum of 2 weeks steep time before I enjoy them fully. My daughter enjoys Hawk Sauce right out of the mailbox, whereas I have seen other fans of Hawk Sauce recommend varying amounts of steep time before they really enjoy it.

The equipment you are using will also make a difference in how you perceive your eliquid. When we were using cigalikes with cartos, higher pg - anything from 100% pg to 65% pg - worked very well for us. When we switched to Evod setups, higher pg was much too harsh for us. We now use 50/50 pg/vg blends for the most part, and are very happy with the result.

I ordered orange dream bar, raspberry and salicious strawberry. I ordered them on 9/22 and tried them for the first time on Thursday 10/1. The strawberry was so harsh I dumped out the tank after 1ml. The orange dream bar is getting harsher I gave it another try this morning.

I am using a nautilus mini with 20w istick and typically keep it at 8.5w that I read was in the recommended range for the 1.8 coil.

What may be recommended for the coils may not be recommended for the liquid. I use a number of 50/50 blend flavors from MBV. At around 8.5 they usually start to taste burnt to me. And let's not forget the higher the wattage more liquid gets vaporized with each draw. More liquid means more nic. More nic means harsher throat hit.

I would suggest holding onto them for a few more weeks and then trying them again, preferably at a lower wattage.
